Electra makes the best cruisers around. The geo is awesome, no soreness after long rides. The Cruiser 1 is one hell of a deal priced under 250. All the components are very good, the welds are good, the saddle and grips are decent for stock, the handlebars are bullhorns which I like very much. The gearing is damn near perfect for the weight(34lbs) of the bike. It comes with a 44t chain ring and a 22t cog, makes climbing small hills easy but also easy spinning out on descents. Mine is all black and looks killer. Go buy one!

Strengths: The Electra Cruiser looks good. Its style is retro yet modern. The handle bars and seating position also make for a comfortable ride.

Weaknesses: I have no complaints about the build of the bike. The only thing I would suggest to riders in more hilly areas would be to consider the 3-speed version of the cruiser.

Bottom Line:

This Electra Cruiser fit the bill for what I wanted: a one-speed comfortable bike that looked good. It is not a road racer, but it wasn't meant to be. I often use a bicycle trailer to take my kids out for a ride and it does just fine.
